A Different Approach to SOF Education for Majors

Abstract

There are many opportunities for a field grade Special Operations Forces (SOF) officer to receive an education in the military today. These programs have much to offer for a SOF officer and meet the officers mid-career educational requirements. Many education programs provide opportunities to increase an officers knowledge on interagency relationships, cultural awareness and language training. While opportunities exist to learn in these three areas in various programs, they are not all together as part of a single academic program. Reorganizing several existing education programs to include these three areas into a single curriculum will lead to a more concise learning environment for SOF majors.
